Do Lake Monsters Migrate?

"Just a couple of days ago, while I was being interviewed on the radio
on the subject of Cryptozoology, a caller to the show asked an
interesting and controversial question: do lake-monsters migrate? Well, I
can say for sure I have never been asked that question before!
Personally, I have grave doubts that the many and various lake-monsters
of our world are flesh-and-blood animals. I am far more inclined to go
down a paranormal path. But, to stay on track with the theme of the
question, although I certainly do not think that lake-monsters
“migrate,” there’s no doubt that there are significant numbers of
reports of such creatures seen out of the water and on the land.

"July 22, 1933 was the day that Mr. and Mrs. George Spicerhad an encounter
with a strange creature at Loch Ness, Scotland. It was close to 4:00
p.m. when the Spicers crossed paths something extremely weird – and,
from their perspective, terrifying. As the pair drove along the road
that links Foyers and Dores, Mrs. Spicer let out a loud scream. Around
600 feet ahead was a large animal which surfaced out of the bushes that
dominated the roadside. At first, all that could be seen was what looked
like a large trunk. As they got closer, however, the situation quickly
changed. George Spicer described the animal as being hideous, an
absolute affront against nature. What particularly struck Spicer – and
which provoked his comments – was the way the thing moved. It did not do
so like any normal animal. Rather, it lumbered across the road. in a
series of odd jerks and coils; something which, for Spicer and his wife,
was reminiscent of a massive worm. It was quickly lost to sight."
